Hi speed Internet in Phoenix (Score 1)

I work for an ISP based in Tempe, AZ. We have just begun to roll out our new wireless solution. We have been developing this solution for about 2 years from concept to the first real non beta installations. It is different from MMDS solutions in that we have many head ends (cell sites) which allows our sector size to be much smaller, thus providing more control over bit error rates (the stuff that makes that high latency). This seems to be the problem with the other wireless solutions in the Phoenix area. We also developed a linux based router for the Customer side to help maintain QOS, do bandwidth management and other services for the customer. While we are not currently positioned as a residential service we do have some residential customers. And plan to offer residential wireless service in the future. As for DSL the only real hope you have for DSL is an alternate DSL provider (a local CELEC) which will be comming on line in Q1 2001. IDSL is worth the money in most cases because it is much more reliable technology in Phoneix. I offer this not as a sales pitch but as hope for you. There are other solutions on the way that wil not be distorted by so many men in the middle (ISP->CLEC->RBOC->customer=lots of finger pointing in most cases).
